"No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day." John 6:44 "The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly." John 10:10 Give...

Well if that is what you really believe, it is between you and God, but I will add a few things for your consideration. What is it you have faith in... that God will overlook every thing we do wrong without regard to whether it is premeditated or an oversight or how serious of an offense it is...

I see what men call "free will" as ultimately only two choices: God's Way or not. Jesus spoke of it as God or mammon. Here we see how Joshua describes it: "And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that...

@Rita I hear you on that one. When I can I also avoid them.

I meant that they were beasts as Solomon described it saying both that we are beasts and/or that we are like beasts.. We are by wisdom to kill those beasts, which Paul might call the "old man" of us . This is that work, which some might say is not necessary in order to finally be saved. I, on...

Primarily the difference is between where I stand on OSAS and where you stand on it. I believe that if a person really believes in OSAS in his heart and lives also by the Word of God striving to follow God's lead, God will see his heart and judge accordingly. What is in the person's heart...

Does not the Father attract dead people to His Son so that they may attain to Life? They do then have their choice to go in the direction of the attraction or not! I have explained this, this time, but we have some basic differences which until one of changes, will make agreement difficult of...

Why would we presume that there is only one message within any certain scripture? I have been reading all of the Bible repeatedly since 1976 yet on many verses where God has given one message previously He shows something completely different another time. Even two different messages are not...

I have never heard of this Mr. Fudge, but I generally go with annihilationism. "The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away. Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. For the LORD knoweth the way of...

Lots of very good words, as I understand them. The one point that bothers me is this, "Jesus' blood means I am pure, despite my sinful nature". At a moment walking in Christ I may also pure, but if as He checks me out and as I check myself out and rough places and places in error are...

I was hoping not, but since you were speaking to me, I presumed... in error it seems.! Sorry!

We can understand in any way that God opens them up to us. I don't presume that I am right and everyone else is wrong... but like most everyone else on this forum, I strive to follow what I believe. When a person's heart is sincere without regard to specific doctrines or beliefs, God...

Helen has been having health issues of her own. This tragic loss in her close family will not help her for certain. Let us keep on praying for her and Dave in particular.

Adam and Eve were clean and set apart [sanctified or holy] by God. When they disobeyed God they were no longer clean. They were unclean beasts with no Life in them [no Life like God was Life. They were no longer in God's image.]. They were unclean, filthy beasts. Reading the whole Bible and...

"And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD." Joshua 24:15...

This reminds me of a billboard sign [road sign] they used to have around all over the place displaying nothing but very large letters spelling three words: Jesus is Lord! My pastor at the time wisely remarked that the sign was not really telling the whole story. Jesus is only Lord of those who...

Sure seems to throw a monkey wrench into the works of those following OSAS, doesn't it?

Why would you believe that? God has never been a respecter of persons. Would He give us the opportunity for more than He gave Adam and Eve? If they had eaten only of the Tree of Life to which they did have access they would have had, I believe, as much as we may have. Jesus was sent to give to...

While this might be a good thing in order to allow any kind of written communication at all... perfect understanding and usage of the rules of grammar in any language would hardly be equal to perfect understanding of God's message to men. For that we have the Holy Spirit. I guess you were not...

I have already shared some of it. The vision I speak of is not like a dream or an appearance of some heavenly entity but rather in accord with what Solomon wrote 3,000 years ago: "Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he." Prov 29:18 The vision is...
